- ansible 7y agoFrom the link: > 9500 free CSL citation styles. Should I ask how it has come to be that there are 9500 citation styles? Or will it make me angry and depressed at the lack of cooperation and widely accepted standards?
- ajot 7y agoI believe most of them are the same, but with a different name. So, for my convenience, I don't need to think what citation style a journal uses, I just go and download the citation style with its name, even if I have the same style installed for another journal.

- jccalhoun 7y agoI would guess a lot of those are duplicates but there are also cases where it has like APA 4 styles and one for APA5, and APA6, and so on.
